2.7 Nehemiah Closes the Gate [85]
There is ample evidence that Nehemiah taught “calendar” according to the Laws of Moses in Torah. For several weeks now, CCC has been working on the term “evening” – a cornerstone word for the whole calendar study. Why? Because many have been taught that Gen 1:5, Lev 23:32 and John 20:1 all support the day-commencement as being at the moment of sunset which ushers in the “evening” of the day. Thorough studies have been completed on these three Scriptures revealing the truth of the DAWN day commencement. Yet, when sharing with those who have not done their due diligence, it sometimes poses the question, what about Nehemiah… it says blah blah blah Neh 13:19 is the 4th strongest text used to demand the Sabbath(s) begin at sunset when it begins to get dark. This week will unravel this “so-called” challenge to see if what we have been taught is actually so. ~
Here are just a few of the things we will investigate this week regarding closing the gate: Why is Neh 13:19 is the 4th strongest text used to demand the Sabbath(s) begin at sunset when it begins to get dark? What evidence is there that Nehemiah taught “calendar” according to the Laws of Moses in Torah? Did Nehemiah get something mixed up? Is he a credible witness for the day-start of Covenant Calendar or not?
